Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Dicaprylyl Carbonate?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants and newborns (0-6 months): this ingredient is generally low risk but has only limited testing. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, it’s best to be cautious.
✅What to Do
If you must use a product with this ingredient on a baby: pick products with very few ingredients, test a tiny amount on a small area first (if the baby is older than a few weeks), use a small amount, avoid the face and eyes, don’t put it on broken or red skin, and stop use if any irritation appears. For babies under 3 months, check with your pediatrician before trying a new skin product.
⚠️Warnings
There is limited evidence of mild eye and skin irritation reported by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. Some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety information; that means manufacturers may need to show extra proof it’s safe for babies. If you see redness, swelling, rash, blisters, or any breathing changes after using a product, stop use and contact your pediatrician or seek medical help right away.
